Netflix Forgets About Jeremy Clarkson, Lands Jerry Seinfeld
Netflix is getting its own car show.
With Amazon Prime outbidding Netflix for Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May’s The Grand Tour, it seems Netflix turned its attention towards comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After spending nine years on Crackle, Seinfeld will debut a new season of his show late this year with 24 episodes. The streaming service will also offer previous episodes.

Seinfeld’s move to Netflix is part of a major production deal the comedian has signed with Netflix that also includes two new stand-up specials filmed exclusively for Netflix.
The show originally launched on Sony’s Crackle service in 2012 and just premiered its ninth season.
